DIY rifle shooting “competition” advice

[Treeratslayer]

So me and the fellas are gearing up for another trip west. Before we leave, we’d like to get together and waste some overpriced ammo together. We always shoot, but usually don’t link up to do so. I I figured it would be a fun way to extend the trip in a way, but I don’t want to just lay the rifles on a table and plink a target.

Im thinking of setting up my own “course” so to speak, with point values dependent on distance and stance. I can shoot anything from 0-550yds. Have some wooded areas but obviously much shorter shots.

I’m wondering what types of things I should setup for it? Anything specific come to mind?

Rokslide style shooting match/challenge 7/20/24

One of the recent threads and a local connection inspired @justinspicher and myself to put together a RS style match. Short notice, but wanted to extend the invite. "Mountain Rifle Challenge" I think would embody what we are shooting for. Event will be on 7/20 in Dolores, CO. The general area...

Did something similar this summer. Strongly suggest incorporating time in the scoring, Form describes how in the thread.

Scrap metal/chain is cheap, 1/4” plate is too thin.

Check YouTube for some NRL Hunter videos. That'll give you lots of good ideas.

I left the course set up and try to run it occasionally, it’s fun, but more fun w friends.

We tried to set it to mimic hunting situations, shooting through gaps in brush/trees, off hand, leaning on trees/fence posts, shooting off rocks, targets painted in different ways, some stations have multiple targets requiring a move, etc. Targets from 50 yards to close to 700.

Shooters start from however they field carry rifle w pack on, have to be able to touch flag from shooting position, identify target, timer starts.
